For this weeks online learning we are learning about Health and what stuff that we can do Physically to keep us healthy. We had a daily fitness board game to do everyday for 5 minutes. We also had to make a DLO about a healthy life style! I really enjoyed making my pop up card with my cousin!
The Day I Woke Up With Super Powers
“OAAHHHH” I yawned when I woke up, I rubbed my eyes. Waking up is always SO hard, I sat up and WOAH what was happening.. I started to levitate.. UHHHH… I fell back down onto my bed when I put my hands up. Well maybe I’m dreaming, I decided to pinch myself to test, “OWWW” I shouted, “nope definitely NOT dreaming” I said. I hopped out of bed and opened my curtains, BOOM, “Umm” I think I pulled too hard because my curtains broke and fell off onto the floor! Mum came rushing in, “WHAT DID YOU DO PIPER!!???” She shouted standing by the door. “Uhh I didn't mean too?” I replied nervously, “It's fine.. Well just get new ones today..” I could tell she was still very mad, I was mad.. WHO WAS DOING THIS TO MEE!?? I just decided to carry on with my day, hopefully nothing else happens. I got dressed and did my hair, ate breakfast and did all that morning stuff, so far nothing had happened. I grabbed my computer and set it up, “Nearly time for my google meet!” I said to myself. I logged on.. *A FEW MOMENTS LATER* I closed my computer, finished my work, “Andddd done! Oh I didn't put on my watch this morning because I was so distracted!” I went over to my bedside table and put it on, I tapped the screen twice with 2 fingers and.. UHH UMMM… I started transforming into.. I checked my watch.. It said “Pantherna ACTIVATED” “I’m guessing my name is Pantherna as whoever this girl is” I said. Wow! This day is CRAZY. I went from a normal 15 year old girl to a SUPERHERO!!! Okay, but I gotta admit, this is lowkey really cool! I got a message from “BOSS” saying, “Hello Piper, I am guessing you think this is really weird and odd. I hope you can handle this job as we have been watching you. We think you will be an awesome superhero and defeat the villains coming your way! -BOSS” Okay, I have a million questions, WHY ME?? WHY HAVE THEY BEEN WATCHING ME??? AND WHAT VILLAINS???? I was VERY confused, but I did love how I looked.. I’ll do this job! I decided to reply to “BOSS” Here is what I said, “Hello! I have no idea why me? Why have you been watching me and I also have a million more questions. I have decided to take the job ONLY because I really love how I look in this suit! -PANTHERNA” Yeah, I guess maybe I was a little harsh but it is the truth! BOOM I reply.. Well kind of a reply, it just said, “Wow! Great, you have decided so fast because there is a villain in your town right now! If you scroll on the watch you will see all the abilities you have! Just double tap with 2 fingers! To de-transform you will need to say “Spots off'' and to transform say, “Leo spots on!” You just transformed by your watch because it is your first time! You will also have a Nami that is a leopard but in tiny creature form, he transforms you and is your little friend! But you need to keep this job a secret. NOW GO SAVE THE WORLD!!” Wow that was a lot to take in! I flew out of my window and WOW!! I love flying! I spotted the villain, It was like I had done this before. I flew down from behind, Then I realised, this is CRUELLA!! FROM THE MOVIE!! This was so cool because she was my favourite villain EVER!! But sadly today, the one time I see her, I need to defeat her… I was on top of the roof looking down at her. Then I saw these to OTHER superheroes fly in, one on the left and one on the right! They were both laughing and when they got together did a little hand shake. Then flew over to me one on each side, “Hi, I’m Luminater and he’s Huminater! I’m purple, he’s blue! Nice to meet you Pantherna! By the way, we are your sidekicks!” said Luminater holding out his hand, “uhh okay.. We need to make a plan” I didn't shake his hand because I don't shake strangers hands. I made up a plan in my head and used hand signals to tell me side kicks what to do, they just had blank and confused faces. I groaned and just told them, “So you guys go attack from behind I’ll distract, and you need to take the dalmation on her back off, it's a toy. BLAH BLAH BLAH… So go do that” They both nodded and flew onto the other roof behind cruella. I flew down and started to distract her, “HEY CRUELLA!! YOU DON'T SEEM LIKE A SMART VILLAIN HAHAHA” Obviously I was joking when I said that, “DALMATIANS ATTACK!!!” She shouted, soon hundreds of vicious dalmations came running after me, I quickly transformed into a Leopard and started running away from them. I know it would make more sense if it was a cheetah but I didn't choose okay? Anyway all the dogs started chasing me, then Luminater and Huminater started dashing down and grabbed the toy dog off her back and she fell to the ground as well as the dogs. Then the superhero police came and took her to.. Well I don't actually know where. Then I flew back home, “Spots off Leo!” Then I saw Leo for the first time and I loved him! I had dinner, got ready for bed and went to sleep. Today was an incredible day!
For one of this weeks reading tasks we had to make a DLO explaining what we think a healthy lifestyle is! I really enjoyed making my DLO about a healthy lifestyle and I also learnt some new things. In my DLO I included a slide about Healthy eating, Physical activity, and Sleep schedule.
For this weeks reading our topic was about balanced diet and how to keep healthy. We learned about what we should be eating and what we shouldn't have much of! For my create activity I chose to make a homemade ice block! They tasted delicious!
For one of the create tasks in our reading slides that I chose I needed to create my own healthy plate of food. I really enjoyed making a healthy lunch plate and maybe one day ill even actually make this plate of food!
For this weeks reading our topic was about Superheroes and Villains. We had to answer questions and try and figure out if a small text was written in 1st person or 3rd person. My favourite part was making up my own superhero (Pantherna) and making a wanted poster for her, as well as writing a story about her and her small crew!
The City Gets Crazy
“Ughhhh.. That villain last night took AGES to beat..” Groaned Luminater (one of Pantherna’s sidekicks) while sitting on the COMFIEST chair in the spaceship. “Uhhh yeah” Said Huminater passing back and forth, “Oh my gosh guys, literally all we had to do was steal the wand, knock the villain out and then the secret superhero crew police came and took her to villain jail, IT WAS SO EASY!!” Pantherna replied driving the spaceship, “but we missed HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 2!!” The 2 sidekicks said together. “It was only on tonight,” Said Huminater, “ughh” Pantherna said, you could tell she was starting to get annoyed with her sidekicks that she got put with. A little while later, when Pantherna and her sidekicks were finally nearly at mars once again.. Pantherna got an alert/video call from her boss (The Mask who she didn't even know the true identity of) She answered the facetime call, “Hello Pantherna, Luminater and Huminater. We have been watching the cities on earth, and it looks like in Auckland City there is a villain, she is a lady, blue spiked up hair, blue scaly mask with a blue scaly costume as well. We need you and your sidekicks to stop this villain from taking over the city.” The Mask said to the crew, “but we are SO close to home, can’t you get someone else to do it??” Pantherna replied to her boss, “No because you are the strongest superhero and we think your super speed power plus your other ones will be great to defeat this villain.” The Mask replied to Pantherna, while Pantherna was on the call with The Mask, Luminater and Huminater were getting ready and tightening their costumes practicing what they were gonna do and blah blah blah blah. Once they got back to Earth and were above Auckland City, they all flew down to the ground landing with one hand on the ground and one knee up. “ALRIGHT, ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS PULL THE SNAKE FROM THE BACK OF HER SUIT AND THEN SHE SHOULD FALL TO THE GROUND AND GET AUTOMATICALLY KNOCKED OUT!!” Pantherna shouted over all the crashing and screaming. “OK” The sidekicks shouted. Luminater and Huminater’s first job in every villain crisis is to take all the people to a safe place. They scoop everyone up and carry them to safety (while flying OBVIOUSLY.) While they are doing that Pantherna lifts up all the boulders from buildings and throws them away with her power, she doesn't even have to touch them! It's a really cool power. Once she has a clear space she starts to fight the villain with her laser eyes that are yellow with black spots on them since she's based on a leopard, the villain fights back with its flying fangs power. Luminater and Huminater have taken all the people to safe places now so they are flying to the top of a building which the villain is standing under. They don’t usually do this but they can all sense that this is gonna be a hard one. Luminater and Huminater came down super fast but they made too much noise and the villain slithered away EXTREMELY fast. WOAH they had NEVER seen that before. They saw the villain slither into the ancient Museum that was NEVER there before, they followed the villain in and WOW there were so many stained glass creations! OH NO they all noticed that Luminater and Huminater hid ALL THE PEOPLE in here!!!!!!!! But when they spotted the villain again she was just slithering past everyone. Hmmm this was REALLY weird, what is she up to.. Luminater and Huminater started grabbing all the people again to take them to a new hiding spot just in case, and Pantherna followed the Snake villain into the stained glass room.. Luminater and Huminater just decided to hide the people OUTSIDE the stained glass room… This was going to be bad. Then the Snake villain started to squiggle through the stained glass maze and Pantherna RAN through all the stained glass pieces trying to catch the snake villain. They were both using their super speed power but while they were breaking all the stained glass windows all the glass fell OUTSIDE where MOST of the people were because some just left without Luminater or Huminater. All the glass fell all around the people. Huminater and Luminater started to take everyone away. Suddenly the villain changed to normal person form but she must have forgotten she cant use her super speed power when she is her normal villain self, so Pantherna quickly grabbed the snake off her suit and the villain fell to the ground and knocked out automatically like they were told. Then Pantherna fixed up all the buildings but then soon realised that there was a trail of glass that had a bit of red on each piece.. UH OH, Luminater and Huminater finally got everyone that got hurt to the hospital but they soon found out that no one survived sadly… A couple days later the Police were looking for evidence about the stained glass incident. Pantherna was still around and she saw evidence from the Snake villain and took it to her lair because she said, “We need this more than they do…” THE END!
Borders closed or open? How does this affect families? It has been a long discussion about whether NZ should keep its borders closed or if we should open them. I truly think that the government definitely made the right decision to shut the borders as quickly as they could.
Firstly, I know that SO many families are suffering because some of their family members are out of the country and they are separated until further notice. Which is why getting the vaccine could definitely help these families, at the moment even people that have got the COVID vaccine aren't allowed to leave the country right now, this is because we have Delta going around and we can't risk making it worse. When we have gone down a bit with levels and COVID cases, people are allowed to leave the country, but we have no idea how long that could take. I do think that when we are in level 3 and the person from a family that has family out of the country has had a covid vaccine, had the covid test, and isolated for two weeks and shown no symptoms, they should be allowed to leave the country to go see their family members.
Secondly, I don’t understand why everyone wants to leave the country when there isn't even a place to go to because pretty much all countries are infected by COVID. Yes, you may have been planning a holiday for a while now and maybe you were just about to go, but then COVID-19 hit, I’m gonna say this now, just because you’ve been planning a holiday for ages or whatever, it doesn't mean you get special treatment to leave the country. You leaving the country and coming back makes the COVID cases in the country you left to and the country you came back to go up even higher and make even more people ending up with COVID. So that is why just be patient and wait for the borders to open.
Thirdly, keeping the borders shut definitely helps prevent COVID from getting worse in our country. It definitely does not help with everything and just makes COVID leave straight away, it just helps with getting less COVID cases. Travelling in and out of the country carries sickness or COVID. You may say “but I have something important to go to” but really your “important” thing most likely got cancelled because of COVID. There is no way you can make up an excuse especially like that and get away with it, if you say you have family and you really want to see them, that is more important but as I said before travelling there and back to see family will most likely make covid worse in the country you went to and the country you came back too.
Overall, I think NZ is making the right decisions to move slowly, and wait until COVID makes its way out and off of earth slowly but as soon as it can. Hopefully soon we will go back to our COVID free lives.
For this weeks distance learning our big question was "Should we keep our borders shut?" We had to figure out if different sentences were facts or opinions! We learned about Venn Diagrams and had to pretend we were on the News and film us interviewing different characters.
